THE MOBNINW OKEGOJflAN, SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1906. v FINES ID PRISON THEIR SENTENCE Severe. Penalties in First Conviction for Re bating. PACKERS TO PAY DEARLY Thomas and Taggart Sent to Penl-tentiary-Burlington ltallroad Fined Prosecutions to Follow. KANSAS CITY. Ms.. June 22. Judge McPherson, of Red Oak, la., today passed sentences as follows upon the seven de fendants, recently convicted In the United States District Court here of mak ing concessions and accepting and con spiring to accept rebates on shipments: Swift & Co. $15,000 fine. .Cudahy Packing Company $15,000 fine. Armour Packing Company J15.000 fine. George 1. Thomas, of New York 6000 fine and four months in the penitentiary. Nelson, Morris & Co. $15,000 fine. Lm. B. Taggart. of New York $4000 fine and three months In the penitentiary. Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy Railway $15,000 line. The tine of $15,000 assessed against the Burlington covered all four counts, and the aggregate amount of the lines in the even cases totaled $85,000. AH Offenders Appeal. Appeals were filed In each case and a stay of execution was granted until June 29. The bonds in the case of Thomas and Taggart were fixed at $6000 each. These two men appeared In court personally, and upon being sentenced, promptly fur . nished the required bonds. The bonds In the case of the packing companies and the Burlington were fixed at $15,000 each. Before sentence was passed In the va rious cases, motions for new trials were made by John G. Cowan, of Omaha, and Frank Hagerman, of Kansas City, for the packers, and by Judge O. M. Spencer, of St. Joseph, upon behalf of the Burling ton Railroad, and Thomas and Taggart. All these motions were overruled. The passing of sentence in these cases marked the end of the rebate cases to be tried at this term of court. One other case, that of the Chicago & Alton, and two of its officers, has been reset for trial In September. The Indictments upon which the various defendants were tried were returned in Kansas City by the grand Jury on December 13, 1905. Seven of. Eleven Convicted. Of the 11 cases brought up at this term, the Government has secured seven convictions, one defendant was acquitted and three cases were dismissed. Judge McPherson reviewed the various charges and evidence brought out at the trial. He said he was fully per suaded that the verdicts in the packing-house cases and the case' of the Burlington were right, and he assessed the fines against all of the corpora tions at the same sum. "These par ties," he said, "were all together In this scheme, with a like motive and pur pose." In speaking of the Thomas and Tag gart cases. Judge McPherson said that evidence had been adduced to show that George A. Barton, for the firm of Barton Bros., wholesale shoe and leath er dealers, had received large sums of money from various railways through the defendants. Basis for More Prosecutions. "Not only so," continued the court, "but the following-named concerns re ceived the sums stated from the rail ways: Barton Bros., $8220; Robert Keith Furniture Company, Kansas City, $9300; Emery, Bird, Thayer Dry Goods Company, $32,000; Burnham, Hanna, Munger Dry Goods Company, $44,500; Hargadine, McKittrick Dry Goods Company, $10,000; F. P. Kirken dall Shoe Company, $1000. So that, as nearly as can be gathered from the ev idence, the defendants, after deduct ing for their own services from money received from railways, paid to the concerns named within four years as rebates the enormous sum of $82,459. And tne evidence fairly shows there were other rebates paid and by them. "I assume all these concerns will be proceeded against for receiving these unlawful rebates, which can be done either by indictment or information, as the last vestige of the plea of im munity for corporations has been wiped out by the decision of the Su preme Court of the United States of March 12, 1906, in the case of Hale vs. Henkle." SOCXD PRINCIPLES DEFINED District Attorney States Effect of Sentence on Rebaters. KANSAS CITY, Mo.. June 22. A. S. Van Valkenburgh. United States District Attorney for the western district of Mis souri, who has directed for the Govern ment the suits In the seven rebate cases that were concluded here today, when Judge Smith McPherson pronounced sen tence upon the defendants, said, after court had adjourned: I am entirely satisfied with the Judg ments. The Government has been fighting for a great principle in the establishment of which the extent of- punishment, although necessarily Incidental, is after all secondary. The results are of enormous benefit to so ciety. So far as the rulings of a trial court may be effectual, the following propo sitions have been establiHhed: That the conspiracy statute applies to the combined efforts of individuals, seeking by device and indirect methods to evade the interstate commerce law. That Congress has Jurisdiction over our foreign commerce as conducted within the limits of our own territory, and has enacted laws which provide a remedy against fav oritism and unjust discrimination. That export as well as other tariffs muft be filled with the Interstate Com merce Commission and maintained. . Neither shippers nor carriers can by con tract among themselves render the provis ions of the law Inoperative. Finally. If any error has been committed, opportunity Is given to have that error cor rected by the highest court of this land, to the end that the laws as enacted by Con gress may bs well understood, established and settled. Incidentally substantial punishment has been Inflicted. But such considerations are of minor importance, In view of the great gain to society from a broad interpretation of the Interstate commerce law and the precedents established for the ifuture guid ance of shippers, carriers and the law offi cers of the Government.

WASHINGTON. June 22. On being asked concerning the action of Judge Mc Pherson at Kansas City today in his decision against the Armour, Swift, Mor ris and Cudahy packing companies, the Burllneton Railroad and the individual defendants. Taggart and Thomas, the At torney-General said: The conspiracy was for obtaining rebates on a large scale, making discriminations to shippers highly Injurious to the public wel fare. The method adopted in concealing the true nature of the transactions showed clearly that the defendants wilfully, know ingly and deliberately sought to defy the law and was a gross contempt of Its pro hibition. After giving It careful considera tion I concluded that the extent of the dis criminations practiced showed that It was a case where the sentence of Imprisonment was especially desirable and 1'dlrected the District Attorney to urge on the court, In case of their conviction, the desirability of such a sentence. I regard the outcome of this case as of the first importance. The sentence of Im prisonment Imposed for the first time on persons guilty of rebating will. In my Judg ment have the most potent effect In check ing the widespread practice of unlawful dis criminations. Attorney-General Moody has always been of the opinion that, if a person guilty of rebating could be imprisoned, the practice would soon be broken. An, however, the Elkins law contained no provision for such a sentence, it became necessary for Mr. Moody, in order to put into effect this theory, to find some other means of doing so. On an examination of the authorities, Mr. Moody discovered that, under the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in- the case of Cune vs. the United States, a conspir acy to commit a crime against the United States, Itself punishable only by fine, might also be punished by imprisonment. He directed the United States Attorney in each district that "in the event of ob taining a conviction on a charge of con spiracy of this kind, you are directed to present to the court the desirability of inflicting the penalty of imprisonment, to the end that fhose unlawful practices which have received almost universal condemnation may be discouraged and prevented, as far as existing laws will accomplish that result." NO MORE REBATES ON GRAIN Chicago Great Western Announces It Will Obey Uw. ST. PAUL, June 22. President Stickney, of the Chicago Great Western Railway, today formally announced that the Chi cago Great Western would stop the prac tice of granting the "grain elevator re bate." "These net rates," said Mr. Stickney, "will be the present rates less the 114 cent per hundredweight, so the actual rates will be the same as before, and the rate will be the same for Peavey & Co. and for the tran-Mlssissippi Grain Com pany, who received this IVi-cent rebate, as to anybody else. This is the law and the law must be obeyed." The new rates will go into effect to morrow, June 23. Coal Road Hearings Finished. WASHINGTON, June 22.

CABINET WAS TWO-FACED Police and Troops Aroused Mob, Governor Did Nothing and Cabi net Had Encouraged Belief It Favored Slaughter. ST. PETERSBURG, June 22. At a crowded meeting of the Constitutional Club tonight Deputy Stchepkin reported the findings of the committee of the lower house of Parliament which went to Bialy Btok to Investigate the facts in connec tion with the anti-Jewish outbreak there According to this report, the police, with the aid of subordinate officers of the police and military, were responsible for the provocation of. the outbreak by the circulation of false rumors against the Jews. The Governor of Bialystok, while not directly responsible, was said by M. Stchepikin to have undoubtedly been criminally guilty of prolonging the excesses by abandoning his post. The Governor washed his hands of the affair, not knowing the attitude of the officials' at St. Petersburg, and absented himself from the scene without giving a single order. Duplicity of Government. That the government gave no order sanctioning the excesses is not ques tioned, but the local police assumed that the Goremykln Ministry, which had printed Black Hundred circulars), would not punish those who participated In the outbreak. It is the two-faced attitude of the government, M. Stchepkin asserted, that was principally .responsible. In con cluding, the report says: "The Ministry must be changed and one must be chosen from the majority of Parliament or otherwise Russia will fall to the level of Persia and Turkey and ultimately come under the tutorship of a really civilized government." Fear of Massacre at Gomel. Apprehension of an Impending outbreak a . rnmot w increased todav by a tele gram from residents of that city stating that a bomb had been dlscoverea in tne house of a leader of the -Revolutionary League of Patriots. it la rumored that M.

A GIVEX OVER .TO MURDERERS Officials Encouraged Massacre and Scoffed at Minister's Orders. BERLIN. June 22. An inhabitant of Bialystok, Russia, who was present dur ing the entire massacres there, and who has arrived in Berlin, has given the Ger man Hebrews' Aid Society an account of the recent events there. He said: June 14 was the 40th anniversary of the compulsory adhesion of many Catholics to the Orthodox Church and a celebration of the event was elaborately planned. The police and military were fully armed, ap parently preparing for a conflict. Though there were no visible enemies, the Jews be came alarmed and sought hiding places. During the processions of Orthodox Rus sians and Catholics on Thursday an uproar bgan and rumors spread that the Jews had thrown a bomb into the crowd and were tearing a Russian priest to pieces. The crowd shouted "down with the Jews' and thereupon roughs, armed with clubs, en tered the nearest Jewish houses and brought the ' inmates out, destroying whatever they found within. The streets were soon filled with dead and wounded, the latter groaning fright fully. The Jewish shops In the vicinity meanwhile were plundered, ruffians taking away all the portable valuables. eome of the officers encouraged the riot ers and soldiers in their bloody work, while other officers ordered them to desist, but the latter were seldom obeyed, the 'dis cipline of the soldiers generally bing loosely enforced. When one officer ordered a num ber of murderers to leave a place they answered that the Governor had given up the Jews and their shops for three days' plunder. General Bogajeffsky, commander of the garrison, politely returned the roughs' cheers and shouts with military salutes, and another officer congratulated them upon their festival, the rioters replying with vlg. orous cheers. , The leaders of the plunderers were not only policemen, but Included many officials cf the Imperial Bank. The next morning Dr. Reigrotzky received a telegram from M. Bramson, a member of the lower house of Parliament, saying that Interior Minister Stolypln the previous night had telegraphed to the authorities to Im mediately check the massacres. Dr. Rei grotzky showed the dispatch to an official who angrily answered: 'We know ourselves when to re-establish order. Do not Imagine that you Jews have the Jewish dictatorship of Bialystok." The rioting did not cease until M. Stchep kin (chairman of the committee of the lower house of the Russian Parliament ap pointed to Investigate and report upon the massacre) arrived at Bialystok Saturday afternoon. HURRY TO PACIFY TROOPS Acts Belie Official Denials Many Radical Papers Suppressed. ST. PETERSBURG. June 22. The Russ ky Invalid enters a general denial of the reports of military disaffection as exag gerated, and for the most part untrue, but the unprecedentedly Bpeedy publication of the report of the War Office Commission favoring an amelioration in the army ra tions, which has been the main cause of complaint, shows that the urgency of the sluation is recognized. The papers announce the arrest of 24 privates of the Prerobojenksi Regiment for circulating proclamations in the revo lutionary agitation. The police are conducting an energetic campaign for the suppression of the rad ical press, daily confiscating six or eight St. Petersburg papers Just as they come off the press. But the editors have an Inexhaustible stock of new names and franchises and manage to appear regular ly. Father Petroff s Christian Socialistic organ is among the papers suppressed. The delegates to the convention of the Peasants' League, which is organizing an agrarian stike movement, gathered in St. Petersburg today, but the meeting was forbidden by the police.

At Abo the troops are in open rebellion and despite many efforts to sup press them they have the upper hand.

The resolution was Introduced by Sen ator McLaurin, of Mississippi, who asked immediate consideration. Senator Lodge asked for time to examine the document and after doing so announced his appro val. The resolution was then adopted without debate. The House also passed the resolution unanimously. DEATHS IN WARFARE. Figures as to Disease and Bullets In Recent Battles. London Hospital. "It is a commonplace of history, cor roborated and confirmed by the experi ences of almost every campaign, alike in civilized and in uncivilized countries, no less in modern than in ancient times, that disease is a more potent element of warfare than the weapons of the en emy." So writes Dr. Thomas F. Dewar in an admirable essay. It Is a surprising circumstance that, in spite of the general recognition accorded by history to the influence of epidemic disease in swaying the fortunes of a cam paign, in spite of the immense power for the mitigation of such diseases which the advance of bacteriology and epidemiology has put within our reach, so little serious effort haa been expended against the pes tilences (particularly typhoid fever and dysentery) which have always stalked in the wake of armies in the Held. How different has been our success in pre venting in practice diseases which are pre-eminently preventable in theory is shown by the recent record of the South African War. This campaign extended over a period of 33 months. Precise fig ures are not yet available, but Dr. De war considers that it may be said with a close approximation to accuracy that the death rate from disease was 69 per 1000 of the total number of troops en gaged, while the death rate from wounds was 12 per 1000. Excluding cases of lm mwliately fatal wounds, it appears that the cases admitted to hospital for sick ness outnumbered those admitted for wounds by no less a margin than 30 to 1. If our own experience is not convinc ing enough, there Is no lack of corrobora tion. Among the French troops engaged in the Crimea, 75,000 died of disease, and but 20,000 of wounds; in the French expe dition to Madagascar in 1895 only seven men were killed by the enemy, but out of a total of 23,009 engaged there fell to mal adies contracted on service no fewer than 7500, or almost 33 per cent. Upon two occasions only does history tell of a campaign in which the disease death rate was lower than the wound death rate. Of these occasions the first was the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, during which the deaths from disease amounted to 18.6 per thousand, while the deaths from wounds reached 33.7 per 1000. This, however, is explained by the au thor of the essay under notice on the score of the brevity of the campaign, the constant movement at the troops and the favorable character of the season of the year. None of these benign character istics marked the second and great excep tion to the rule, the present army of Japan. Throughout a long and arduous campaign, conducted under climatic con ditions of quite exceptional rigor, the Jap anese are reckoned to have lost by sick ness 15,300 men, as against 57,150 killed in battle or subsequently dead of injury. Much remains to be done before we can hope to vie with the excellence of the mil itary hygiene of the Japanese, and all students of the question may be com mended to Dr. Dewar" s essay, which em bodies a wide personal experience of mili tary service with a practical moderation too rarely seen in specialists. Running Along In the Fog. Exchange. More than B0 per cent of wrecks at sea happen in thick weather. Vessels collide or run aground in fog simply because they don't know where they , are or, what amounts to the same thing, where the rock or the other ship Is. And all this fog trouble happens even on the coasts that are best protected by fog signaling devices. In other words, more H0U5E-FUIfflISHER5f than half the record of wreck is an ad mission of futility of fog signals sounded in air. It is only whenthe signal is taken below the surface of the water that any thing like certainty of hearing it is found, or the power of determining di rection. The vexatious "silent areas" that interfere with effective alr-slgnallng disappear, and the puzzling reflections and refractions of sound waves which in the air make It so Impossible to locate the signals' real location, are easily dis covered and used to advantage in the denser medium. Every atmospheric change, even down to a shift of wind, to tally changes conditions aloft; under wa ter they are constant. General Sherman and Georgia. New York Press. Somebody Is trying hard to get up a sensation over the visit of Father Sher man along the route taken by William Tecumseh In his march to the sea through a country barren of about everything ex cept women, children and manumitted slaves. Let us look backward some '1 years. I happened to be in the village of Cartersville when General Sherman made his first march through the state of Geor gia after the war. It was published throughout the North that he would sure ly be murdered. He rode in a Pullman car, and when the train stopped at Car tersville came out on the rear platform to see a gathering of some 2,000 people. The best of humor prevailed and not a few Jokes were cracked between the war rior and those whom he had a tew years before so ruthlessly Beggared. Glancing over the village, Sherman, shading his eyes with his hand, asked In a loud voice: "What's become of those chimneys I left standing here the last time I called on you fellows? I don't see a single one. There's nothing but GHIRARDELLI Saved from Fire The great fire did not reach our factory.
